285 - Covid-19 Ground Zero in NYC with Medical Doctor and BJJ Black Belt Nicholas Tyau,

Dr Nicholas Tyau is an internal medicine specialist who was working at a hospital in the Bronx, the epicenter of the Covid-19 pandemic in North America, during the spring of 2020. He's also a BJJ black belt, so he's no stranger to training and adversity! In this podcast we talk about the chaos that the pandemic created in the NY hospitals, the controversy over death certificates, hydroxychloroquine, vaccines, dealing with the second wave, and what it was like when Nicholas himself got infected by a patient. We get pretty granular in this one, but I hope it's still accessible for most people. Let me know what you think, Stephan Kesting P.S. The guidelines I published to help BJJ schools open (fairly) safely during the pandemic are available here: https://www.grapplearts.com/openingupbjj
